Radioactive Waste• Generated at each stage - Mining, Enrichment, Power Generation – Waste from Enrichment has been used in Depleted Uranium (DU) bombs used in Iraq• Even 21st century science has NO ANSWER for Nuclear Waste Disposal – Waste contaminates (beyond scope for inhabitation) a huge area in its vicinity for 1000’s of years What about the Is it Safe? Environment & People? home

5.
Radiation Contaminates Always• Even if there is NO NUCLEAR ACCIDENT – Around a Uranium Mine – Around an Enrichment Facility – Around a Nuclear Plant – Around Nuclear Waste An area of 30-35 km radius gets contaminated by nuclear radiation regularly! home

Nuclear ‘Meltdown’ in the USA• Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania: Happened in 1979 due to the meltdown of fuel rods• Health effects mostly unstudied or kept clandestine home

Impact of Nuclear Radiation on Humans • Cancer in the next 2 to 60 years • Deformed babies - FOREVER! The pictures that follow may be disturbingJump to Existing Nuclear Plants in India only if you are extremely week-hearted home

OK, If Not Nuclear Then What? Feeding Electricity to the Super Power in making… home

31.
Improving Existing Energy Efficiency• India can save 30-40% of its electricity deficit by simple Conservation techniques – Improving the efficiency of existing power plants (we are way behind international standards at the moment) – Decentralizing electricity generation to reduce long distance transmission losses The cost of implementing these Efficiency ImprovementMeasures is MUCH LESS THAN that of setting up New Plants home

33.
Use Renewable Sources• They are Cheap Spend the millions & billions on• They are Unlimited research of Renewable Energy rather than on Nuclear• They don’t Kill• They are ‘un-researched’ America is the world’s largest producer of Wind Power Solar Energy has the potential to feed Earth 1000 times Solar Water Heaters in Bangalore save 900 MW of peak load. Already! home

The Politics of Nuclear Power in India Ever heard of a lucrative Wind or Solar Scientist post?

38.
Why is Nuclear Power Promoted in India?• Current energy policies are designed to benefit foreign MNCs General Electrics Westinghouse Areva Newspapers admit that THEY ARE HERE FOR A $40 BN BUSINESS home

39.
Why is Nuclear Power Promoted in India?• Profit for MNCs who will provide reactor designs• Commission for Indian Politicians, Intellectuals, Scientists Investment at the 9,900 WM Jaitapur ` 10,00,00,00,00,00,000 Nuclear Plant One Lakh Crores only! All Nuclear Plants in India offer lucrative prospects for these Patriots! home

40.
Why is Renewable Energy Unknown?• Very less or No Scope for Investment (read profit)• Giants MNCs in the Nuclear Power sector are too strong to let the Renewable Energy sector grow – And hence, almost No Solar or Wind Scientists home

42.
And Our Government’s Gift for US• The Nuclear Civil Liabilities Bill by our government says that: Any foreign company WILL NOT be held liable for any nuclear accidents on Indian soil, whatsoever They WILL NOT pay any Compensation We CAN NOT sue them in Indian or Foreign courts home

44.
The ‘West’ is Disowning Nuclear Power• Most Americans are against Nuclear Power – Major concerns: • Continuous radiation emitted in normal functioning of Nuclear Plants • Nuclear Waste disposal • Threats of nuclear accidents• Australia has never built a Nuclear Power Plant! home
